Ever wonder why everyone you know seems to be on an antidepressant?
According to the North American Menopause Society, nearly 60 percent of women going through perimenopause experience anxiety or depression—and yet, most of us are never told it could be a symptom of a hormonal imbalance.
In today’s episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on the three hormone imbalances most often mistaken for mood disorders—and what to ask your doctor before saying yes to medication that only masks the real issue.
In this episode, we‘ll address your most commonly asked questions, including:
✅ Why do I feel anxious for no reason in my 40s?
✅ Can a hormone imbalance cause depression?
✅ Is anxiety in perimenopause normal?
✅ Why do antidepressants stop working in midlife?
✅ What hormones cause mood swings in perimenopause?
✅ What’s the difference between hormonal anxiety and real anxiety?
✅ Why does my doctor say my labs are normal when I feel awful?
If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe it’s not me—it’s my hormones,” this episode is for you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
